Hi all,

This isn't a rant but I'm after some advice. I'd like to learn React Native to start building mobile apps. I've never used React and to be honest, my JavaScript skills are a bit jQuery (if you get what I mean!).

Shall I jump into RN or learn ES5/6 and React first?

The way I learned was just by jumping in. It might not have been the fastest way to get up to speed, but I think their tutorials pretty much cover most of the important concepts. Just my experience though so take with a grain of salt :)

I don't think you need to know JavaScript in deep to start coding for react[native]. Try some react tutorials and jump directly to native, all you need to learn is ES6/7 but I strongly recommend you try to build something and finish it, that way you'll cover more scenaries to implement things you'll not are going to use in the basic ones.
